top 10 in specific categories or other predetermined criteria
if i was a player like cj or desean and my team didnt want to restructure after ive earned a raise, i would tell them that when my contract expires i will only re-sign with them for 3-5 mil more than it should be to make up for the lost income in my rookie years.
it just seems like bad business to me to short change a premier player who has done alot for your team. that cant brew happiness.

Agreed. You want the "home town discount"? Now is the time for it. If you make me risk my payday by playing at a discount this year, you get the "home town premium" next year.
